Livni stands by as Kadima MK bashes Olmert

Dear Reader,
As you can imagine, more people are reading The Jerusalem Post than ever before.
Nevertheless, traditional business models are no longer sustainable and high-quality publications,
like ours, are being forced to look for new ways to keep going. Unlike many other news organizations,
we have not put up a paywall. We want to keep our journalism open
and accessible and be able to keep providing you with news
and analyses from the frontlines of Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish World.

Kadima MK Majalli Whbee slammed Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's treatment of minorities at a rally of Arab and Druse Kadima activists in Shfaram on Tuesday.
"Unfortunately the current leadership of Kadima is not implementing the values of equality and partnership that the party was founded on," Whbee said.
"The party's leaders give lip service to equality but don't do enough to promote it. We are not hitchhikers in the party, we founded it, so our leaders must treat us accordingly. While Labor did the right thing by appointing an Arab minister, our leaders are ignoring our sector."
Internal Security Minister Avi Dichter praised Olmert in his speech, but Olmert's Kadima rival, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, made no effort to defend the prime minister.
